M&S 12 days of Christmas

I saw that M&S were doing this again this year. I'd been disappointed last year but feel luckier this year. I got a nice hand cream and a packet of Florentines as well as a bag of fresh baked cookies or doughnuts with my usual Sparks card.
I know others were very lucky last year. Anyone get gin this year?

I got a free lip balm and some chocolate coins this year plus lots of discount offers which I didn't use. Last Christmas seemed more generous (got a bottle of gin last year plus lots of other gifts) though if we have opened all the windows there is a special draw for a grand prize of a 10K gift card.

I also received the "free" lip balm which was not available in two stores. Same thing happened to me last year. Very disappointing especially when some have received several freebies.
Do freebies reflect the amount spent in store? My spending has dropped due to the closures of stores nearest to me.

I have just received an email telling me I have won a bottle of light up liqueur in the draw for opening all 12 doors in the 12 days of Christmas.
Now if only I could get to an M&S…..
Sadly another missed opportunity.

Definitely not the case that if you don’t spend much with them then the freebies are not so good….I spend a fortune with them throughout the year and my freebies were dismal!
